Reviving Antislavery Issues.

\ recent paper by Eli Thaycr, who was Il
member of Congress from the Worcester.
(MaSs.) district before the war on the work of
the KANSAS Emiyrant Aid Society. of which he
was the founder, has stirred up quite Il contro-
versy among the men of that time. Mr.. Thaycr
in his paper ridcules the idea that the old anti
slavery society accomplished anythn. practical
toward the abolition of slavery. Several of the
Garrison AbOlitonists took exception to this
statement, and Oliver johnson, of New York,
prepared an elaborate paper eulogizing the work
of the AbolitionistS and attacking Mr.. Thayer,
which was recently read in Worcester by the
venerable Samuel May. Of Leicester. General
Francis +. Spinner, eX-United States Treasurer,
now takes hand in the controversy in a letter
to Mr.. Thayer, dated Pablo Beach, Fla, May
II. He writes as follows:

was glad to hear from you, and more glad to
hear that you have vndicatcd the truth of

those who acted with you. 1t was. of course, not
new to me; but the people generally have been
led to believe the lies that slavery was abolished
through the instrumentality of the old Abolition
party. But for the foolish acts of the South,
slavery would have maintained It's hold for a
time in spite of the Abolition party. Their
claim that they abolished slavery is OH Il par

Within the past few years cooking schools
have been established in various parts of the
country, and this greatest of all arts-cookcry,
is beginning to receive that attention from
hOusckecpcrs which it deserves. Prominent
among teachers of cooking are several persons
whose names are as household words, and
whose teachings are widely accepted as ail-
thOrity. We alude particularly to Miss Par
loa, Mrs. A. A. Geddes, Miss Marion Harlan,I
and Mrs. Il. r. Parker, all of whom have high
reputation, and have publicly recommended
Prof. HOrsfOrd's preparations.
Miss Parloa says that she has used IIOrs-
fords Bread Preparation with perfect success.
Mrs. Geldcs says she always gets good re-
suits.
Miss Iarland says the Bread Preparation de-
serves a place in every household in the land.
Mrs. Parker says it surpasses all other bak.
ing powders.
All physicians declare it to bc healthful, and
a necessity to the human economy.
The test of years, and the ever increasing
sales of the Bread Preparation, show that il
